Moldova declares state of emergency as Russia-Ukraine gas deal ends • FRANCE 24 English

Russia’s gas transit to Europe via Ukraine stopped on Wednesday, Moscow and Kyiv said, ending a decades-long arrangement and marking the latest casualty of the war between the neighbours. Russian gas has been supplied to Europe via pipelines crossing Ukraine since the end of the Soviet Union in 1991 in an arrangement that earned revenues for Moscow from the gas and for Kyiv from the transit fees.

  1. Unexpected! After all, the war has only been going on for 3 years! Why did Ukraine suddenly shut off the pipeline? What are the reasons?

  2. Thanks for posting! I need advice: My crypto wallet on OKX holds some USDT, and I tknow the seed phrase. (clean party soccer advance audit clean evil finish tonight involve whip action)..What’s the best way should I posting moving them to transferring them?

  3. Moldovans, Hungarians & Slovakians could just offer their homes to Russia in exchange for Russian gas. Stop the dumb blame game, blaming the Russian invasion on Ukraine as if the rape victim enjoys her ordeal.

  4. Turning off the gas will cause tensions to rise between Transnistria and Moldova. Russia will say Ukraines move to shutter the gas is on purpose to hurt the pro Russian region of Transnistria. Transnistria will call on Russia for aide and its Donbass all over again in a non NATO country with a Russian separtist region. This is all by design, and whether Moldova gets gas or not, Transnistria will be squeezed by Ukraine and Moldova regardless. I doubt Russia stands by and lets a region they can easily annex in a non NATO country be reclaimed by the West.

  5. Basically Ukraine trying to blackmail EU countries. "Give us more money and weapons for my family and cronies or I will cut off your access to cheap gas supplies" -Zilinsky

  6. Bundestag member Sevim Dagdelen (of the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance – Reason and Justice) has called on the German authorities to stop making "cash gifts" to Kiev after halting gas transit through Ukraine and to launch the preserved string of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

  7. Ukraines fault
    At least the west didn't blow up the pipe this time. Hang on I thought we weren't using the big bears gas anyway ha.

  8. I really appreciate your efforts! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

  9. We in Great Britain coped with energy/petrol/diesel/foodstuff price hikes. Things have settled somewhat. The root cause of all these issues is kaputin expansionism. If he had not ordered russia to invade then everything would have remained the same. kaputin took russia to war, behaving like the Germany of 1940 and like Hitler, kaputin and russia will suffer the consequences. On a personal note, I'm happy to pay a bit more satisfied that my money isn't going east.
